Be it known that we, IsAAcRoUsH and ORN W. TRUBY, of Otto, in .the county of Cattaraugus, and State of New York, have iinvented new and useful Improvements in Organs; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof,'which will enable others skilled in the art 'to make and :use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,forming part of this specification.

`The present invention particularly relates to a connection and arrangement of parts, whereby the stops ,can be operated without requiring the use of the hands, aud enable all double levers to be dispensed with.

In the accompanying plate of drawings our improvements in .the arrangement of parts for operating the i stops to organs are illustrated.

Figure 1, a face viewof the parts by and through 'which the stop to an organ can be operated. This arrangement and connection constitute the present invention.

Figure 2, an edge or sideview of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A, in the drawings, represents a frame, to which our improvements are shown as applied. B, a stop, which may be of any of the ordinary forms for organ-stops; this stop being arranged to play onA and out of the. bar or raii'C tothe frame A, and, by its inner end, hung through a link, D, to angular-shaped plate` E, turning upon a fulcrum-pin, F, at one angleor corner.

This plate E, by its end G, sets into a socket, H, of a disk or plate, L'that' is hung so as to swing upon a fulcrum at J. One edge or side, K, of this disk I is made with a curve from end to end, and against such curved side or edge a lever, L, is arranged to abut, as it is moved inl and out through the guide M, and thus swinging the said disk either to th e right or left, as the case may be, and through it throwing out or drawing This lever is in twd parts or-sections, pivoted together at N, and, by its end O, is to'bo connectedto a treadle. The other end, P, husa block, Q, hung to it, which block is bevlled or angular upon its edges or sides, and is arranged to move or travel in the grooves R in the face, to a disk or plate, S.

These grooves have the directionsshown in the drawings, g..1, and iu their lines intersect and cross each other, forming for the block Q,carried^ by the lever, ways or grooves for such block as the lever moves in and ont topassji'xromvone corner of theblock to the corner U2, directly above the same, and from thence back again to the opposite'corner' of the block, in the same line as the corner U, this movement of the block occurring in onein-and-out movement of the lever.A

By now pressing in the bevel again, the block is carried from the corner to the corner W, and from thence, as the-lever moves out, downback into the corner U, where it originally stood.4

We, bent springs, applied in the grooves or ways, and which, as the block moves in the grooves, as, for instance, from the corner to the corner U2, or from the corner V to the corner, or, in ,other words, through the grooves that intersect or cross cach other, prevents, such block-movingback again through the straight or side portion of the grooves. 1 v 1 As the lever is thus moved in and out, and by the peculiar arrangement and direction of the grooves, the disk is so operated as in the one case to throw out the stop, and in the other to draw it in, as is obvious without any further explanation.

We claim'as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The grooves R, in a. surface, in combination with a block moving in such grooves, substantially as and for the purpose described.
